On 8 April 2016, a woman named Malika Anderson published a blog post in which she alleged that Connor began to have sex with her after she told him she didn’t want to.

Anderson tweeted that Connor was a ‘serial rapist’ in a tweet dated 3 December 2015, and alleges that she received an influx of abuse from accounts she believes were set up by Connor.

She filed a police report accusing Connor of sexual battery and sexual assault, but the case was dropped due to insufficent evidence.

In wake of Anderson’s blog, singer Jean Deaux shared a blog in which she alleged she was raped by Connor. She said that while she didn’t file a police report herself, she gave a statement to the detective investigating Connor’s case.

Amber Rose said in 2016: ‘Because I have my SlutWalk, all of the women [who’ve accused Ian Connor] have reached out to me as well. They want to come to my SlutWalk and tell their story on my stage. I have that platform for them to do so.

‘I’m not a lawyer. I can’t prosecute anyone or say, “What she’s saying is exactly the truth.” I wasn’t there. Honestly, seven came out and I’m pretty sure 21 women have reached out to me so far.’

Rapper Theophilus London also accused Connor of being a ‘dirty fucking rapist’ in a tweet after they had a physical fight.

ASAP Rocky, who was Connor’s manager, previously defended him in 2017, saying: ‘I feel like when you treat people mean and you do things like fuck girls and you never call them back, you give ‘em a reason to be like, “Man, fuck this n****. I hate this n****.”

‘If you realise, he never went to jail for that. Never been arrested. Never been charged. It’s all word of mouth shit. There’s evidence of girls talking about a week before they did this, talking about, “Oh, I’m not fucking n***** for free no more. I’m about my business this year.” Pull the tweets up. Y’all know what it is. And this can happen to any of y’all. Be careful and treat women nice.’

Connor denies the rape allegations and has never been arrested or charged in connection with them.

He recently sat front row at Virgil Abloh’s Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week, and has styled people including Kylie Jenner.

Metro.co.uk is chasing Connor’s rep for comment, and is also awaiting comment from Kanye West’s rep.
